Fix a tank. Build a bridge. Stop a cyber-attack. Whatever you want to do with you career, we’ve got a place for you. As an Apprentice in the British Army you'll build the kinds of bonds that you simply wouldn’t find in civilian life. You'll make friends for life and travel the world with them, all while earning a very competitive wage.

Whether you fancy becoming a skilled expert working with ammunition, explosives, electronics or IT systems, you’ll keep us all moving – meaning you’ll be playing an important part in our ongoing progress too.

ENGINEERING & MAINTENANCE
Teaching apprentices how to develop new military technology and maintain our aircraft, vehicles and weaponry is vital to our success, both now and in the future. So, whether you learn how to be an aircraft technician, communications electrician or vehicle mechanic, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to make a big contribution.


MEDICINE & HEALTHCARE
We need to equip apprentices with the right skills and knowledge to make sure our soldiers get the treatment they need. That’s why we offer a range of apprenticeships including primary healthcare and emergency care, giving you the chance to become a trained expert and make a real difference by providing an essential service to the Army.


CONSTRUCTION & MANUFACTURING
Carpentry, metalwork, plumbing and construction are just some of the trades we need apprentices to train in. Whether you’re helping to build new Army bases as part of the Royal Engineers, or looking after the electrics on Army vehicles, becoming a skilled tradesman will mean you’ll play an important part in our continued development.


SUPPORT & HR
As we employ such a huge number of people, it’s important that we recruit apprentices who can provide strong networks to support them. This support can cover anything from internal communications and teaching, to security and law – so however you assist us, you’ll help us make sure that everyone in the Army feels secure in their role.


TRANSPORT & LOGISTICS
Delivering troops and supplies to locations around the world is a big part of what we do, and we need to train apprentices to help us be prepared for any situation. From driving large and small vehicles, to flying aircraft and working on ships, you’ll get to travel far and wide to make sure we’ve got everything we need in the places it’s needed.
This made me more confident in my daily role and has provided me with a thorough understanding of the communications environment.
